    Although Annabe could hear the displeasure in Lucy''s tone, she brushed it off and continued to do as she pleased.


    “Love is unpredictable, you know. I can feel the chemistry between Theodore and me, so what you said probably isn''t true. I think what I said is much more likely to happen."


    Lucy was puzzled. Where did Annabe get such confidence and audacity from? While Lucy would not dare to im to fully understand Theodore, she could still tell what he was thinking through their interactions.


    At the very least, Theodore would never have feelings for someone as self-centered as Annabe, who only cared about wealth and status.


    If anything, Theodore would keep his distance from such people.


    Lucy could not bring herself to burst Annabe''s bubble, but she felt it was best to gently discourage her early on-especially since Annabe''s target was her brother.


    "I agree with what you said, but I know my brother quite well, so maybe you could reconsider..."


    Lucy did not finish thetter part of her statement. She wanted to tell Annabe to consider other options and not focus all her energy on Theodore. Besides, his dismissive attitude toward Annabe was definitely not a sign of interest.


    After rambling on for so long, trying to persuade Lucy to side with her, Annabe was taken aback by Lucy''s opposition.

    As the two remained at an impasse, Lucy considered making an excuse to slip away until a car slowly approached the expansive frontwn outside the garden fence.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucy squinted to get a better look. Was that not Matthew''s car? She had asked Matthew to pick her up after she was done dealing with things, but she did not expect him to arrive so early.


    Annabe gazed at the car in


    confusion. Being from a noble background, she was well-versed in luxury brands for cars and

    handbags. At first nce, she could tell that the car was quite valuable as it seemed to be a limited edition model issued by a certain car manufacturer. It was sleek and understated yet luxurious.


    The car came to a slow stop at the entrance, and a man emerged from the driver''s seat. The first thing that caught her eye was his long legs, followed by his elegant fingers resting on the car door.


    With a click, the car door closed. The two women could see Matthew''s side profile under the sunlight.


    Various magazines had deemed Matthew to be the most handsome and charismatic man outside of the entertainment industry, and such ims could be found almost everywhere.
